Course Details

Welcome to ancient Rome! First year Latin courses give you direct access to the thoughts and writings of the ancient Romans and allow you to explore the dynamic and often dangerous cultural, social and political world in which they wrote. Learning to interpret and use an ancient language requires you to explore unknown areas and think in new ways. Our focus is on Latin as a literary language. Course activities are designed to foster a collegial and collaborative atmosphere and to encourage you to make strong connections between the ancient language and literature we are exploring together and your other interests, passions and pursuits.

The honors version of this course is designed to offer Honors students a chance to deepen and complicate their study of Latin. We will meet for one hour per week to discuss additional readings and develop critical perspectives on materials studied in the class. Additional meeting time TBD based off of student/instructor schedules.
